Whatever independant Canadian media you like, you should buy a subscription.

Welp. A small inconvenience is the price to pay if you want privacy from the authorities.

I keep telling friends and family to switch browsers, switch text messengers, even switch social networks and they just complain that it's all just inconveniences. But then they complain about their privacy.

C'mon.

I heard somewhere that authorities can't ask you for a PIN but can ask you for a pattern because of the way the law is written.

I'd love for someone to confirm that though.

That's good news.

Bazzite is an atomic Fedora distro. Unless you like running everything in containers and having to upgrade everything all at once in a while and not having control over your system files, I don't recommend it. It's great for handheld devices because it kind of behaves like an Android device in a way. But personally I don't like that on a PC where I want more control.

And Garuda is a rolling release Arch distro with a lot of bleeding edge (read not well tested and unstable) packages. While it's tailored for gaming, unless you want to spend your time reading the Arch Wiki for troubleshooting your problems and learn, I don't recommend it.

How about we use emergency powers to nationalize our natural resources. Stop them being exploited by foreign interests who then resell us our own resources at a higher price.

Never heard of them. Must be operating outside Québec lol.

Here we have La Belle Province, Ashton, Dic Ann's, and there's tons of local poutine shacks that do burgers also.

I'm gaming on Ubuntu (Kubuntu with KDE Plasma, I hate Gnome) and it's the best no hassle option with the most community support. (Mint is probably better) If you want to spend time playing games instead of troubleshooting a distro that very few people are using, an Ubuntu based distro is the best.

You wouldn't have any problems playing games from the 90's. But as far as VR goes, I can't tell you for sure but I would assume Steam VR would work?

Yeah I did a quick search and apparently it's supported as long as you use the official .deb package and not the Snap or Flatpak package.

Personally I kept a small 100gb Windows partition for firmware upgrades for some devices but I very rarely ever use it.

Man... Fuck the Trump loving, zionist enabling McDonald's. They can take their clown feed and leave Canada.

Someone just mentioned well.ca in thread for example. I know there are a lot more. We could make a list to find them quickly.

Dilemma about some brands. (self.buycanadian)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by cyborganism to c/buycanadian
 

I have s dilemma when it comes to some brands.

For example Kraft or Scott paper are American companies. That means any profits go to the U.S.

However, their products are manufactured in Canada with canadian resources. Therefore helping the local economy and creating jobs.

Should we buy from them or no?

I world lean towards no, because in the end it profits americans. Especially when there are local alternatives for things like peanut butter, Cheez Whiz, and it's not like mac n cheese is really that hard to make. There are also local paper brands. But I'm still worried this could end in job losses and have an impact on the economy.

EDIT: I should also add that we're still being screwed royally by Canadian corporations still, like our large grocery chains, telecom and others. I think it's still worth to boycott them. That means we really need to focus on the very local businesses. They may cost more, but I think in the end we're definitely all going to be winners from doing that.

 

La raison de la vente serait pour en tirer profit maintenant parce-qu'avec les tarifs, les canadiens se retrouveront en difficulté financière et vont moins dépenser. Et donc en ayant ce revenu supplémentaire, ça leur permettra d'avoir un coussin financier.

Aujourd’hui même, des milliers des personnes avec des enjeux de mobilité feront appel au service de transport adapté public de la Société de transport de Montréal.

Pour des activités sociales, des obligations professionnelles ou pour d’importants rendez-vous médicaux, ces personnes ont besoin d’un service fiable, humain et personnalisé.

Les chauffeurs expérimentés du service public de la STM sont là pour eux.

Malheureusement, dans un contexte de sous-financement du transport collectif public, la STM a annoncé qu’elle mettait fin à ce service essentiel. Et pour des milliers d’usagers, cela signifie une perte d’autonomie et de dignité.

Sauvons notre transport adapté public.

Bonjour, si jamais ça intéresse quelqu'un j'a créé un nouvelle communauté pour discuter de logiciels libres. Vous la trouverez ici: Québec Libre

 

Depuis l’escalade du conflit israélo-palestinien, la couverture médiatique du sujet est scrutée de près, exposant les tensions et les influences qui pèsent sur le travail des journalistes. Entre pressions externes, arbitrages internes et dilemmes personnels, comment les grandes rédactions québécoises et leurs journalistes naviguent-ils dans ce paysage ultra-sensible? Pour le comprendre, Pivot a mené une enquête au cœur des quatre grandes salles de rédaction francophones de la province.
